The Braingate system allows a paralyzed man to control a computer using his thoughts by monitoring brain activity and converting intentions into commands. It was developed in 2003 by Cyberkinetics and Brown University scientists to help those who have lost limb control, like spinal cord injury patients, operate devices. The system includes a neurochip implanted on the motor cortex that detects neural signals which are transmitted to an external processor and converted to control a computer cursor. This provides an alternative pathway for communication and operating external devices through thought.
brain gate technology is an wonderful innovation and boon for ppl met with accidents specially SPINAL CORD FAILURE
this "TECHNOLOGY" serves as ray of hope and sunshine in their life
This presentation is given in (2015) . As the power of modern computers grows alongside our understanding of the human brain, we move ever closer to making some pretty spectacular science fiction into reality.
Braingate is an electrode chip which can be implemented in the brain. When it is implemented in brain, the electrical signal exchanged by neurons within the brain. Those signals are sent to the brain and it executes body movement. All the signalling process is handled by special software. The signal sends to the computer and then the computer is controlled by patient.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
2. INTRODUCTION
• It is a mind-to-movement system that allows a
quadriplegic man to control a computer using his
Thoughts.
• The system is to help those who have lost control of
their limbs, or other bodily functions, such as patients
with spinal cord injury to operate various gadgets
such as TV, computer ,lights, fan etc.
• It monitors brain activity in the patient and converts
the intention of the user into computer commands
• This can be used to control a robot arm or a cursor on
a screen
3. DEVELOPMENT
• Company and Scientist:
• Brain Gate is a brain implant system
developed by the bio-tech company
Cyber kinetics in 2003 in conjunction with
the Department of Neuroscience at Brown
University.
4. Working Principle
• The principle of brain gate
neural interface system is that
which intact with brain
function, neural signals
generated are interpreted by the
systems and a cursor is shown to
the user on a computer screen
that provides an alternate
“Brain Gate pathway". The user
can use that cursor to control
the computer, just as a mouse is
used.
5. BCI Technology
• “BCIs” usually connects the brain (or nervous system) with a
computer system.
• A Brain Computer Interface, called as direct neural interface
or brain machine interface is a direct communication pathway
between human or animal brain and an external device.
• Based on the communicative Pathway BCI is classified as
follows
One Way BCI
Two Way BCI
6. BCI Technology (Cont.)
• One Way BCI: Computers either accept commands from the
brain or send signals to it (for example, to restore vision) but not
both.
• Two Way BCI: Brains and external devices can exchange
information in both directions but have yet to be successfully
implanted in animals or humans.
• Brain Computer interface is of three types based on its features
and are
Invasive BCI
Partially Invasive BCI
Non Invasive BCI
7.
8. The components in this system
• The Neuro chip: A 4-millimeter
square silicon chip studded
with 100 hair-thin
microelectrodes is embedded
in the primary motor cortex
the region of the brain
responsible for controlling
movement
• The connector: When the user thinks “move cursor up
and down”, the cortical neurons fire in a distinctive
pattern: the signal is transmitted through the pedestal plug
attached to the skull
9. • The converter: The signal travels
to a shoebox-sized amplifier
mounted on the user’s
wheelchair, where it’s converted to
optical data and bounced by fiber-
optic cable to a computer.
• The computer: The computer
translates brain activity and
creates the communication output
using custom decoding software.
10. Working
• The Brain Gate neural interface device is a
propriety brain-computer interface that consist
of an Inter neural signal sensor and External
Motor Cortex
Processors.
• The sensor consists of a tiny chip containing
100 microscopic electrodes that detect brain
cell electrical activity.
• The chip is implanted on the surface of brain in
the motor cortex area that controls movement.
11. Working (Cont.)
• External Processors convert neural signals into an
output signal under the users own control.
• In the pilot version of the device, a cable connects
the sensor to an external processor in a cart that
contains computers.
• The computers translate brain activity and create
the communication output using custom decoding
software.
12.
13. HOW INFORMATION IS
TRANSMITTED?
• When a work is done through any part of
body then a potential difference is created
in the brain.
• This potential difference is captured by the
electrodes and is transmitted via fiber optic
to the Digitizer(external processor).
14. • The digitizer converts the signal into some
0’s and 1’s and that is feed into the
computer.
• Thus a new path for propagation of brain
commands from the brain to the computer
via Brain Gate are created.
• Now when external devices are connected
to the computer ,then they work according
to the thought produced in the motor cortex.
15. Brain Gate Research in Human
A boon to the paralyzed
• Mathew-Nagel the first person to use the
brain-computer interface to restore
functionality lost due to paralysis…
16. ADVANTAGES
• Controlling remote devices
• Making and receiving telephone
calls
• Accessing the internet.
• Turn on or off the lights
• Control robotic arm
• Watch and control television
• Use the pc
• Locking or unlocking doors
• Motorized wheelchair
17. DISADVANTAGES
• Expensive
• Risky Surgery
• Not Wireless yet
• Difficulty in adaptation and learning.
• Limitation in information transform rate.
The latest technology is 20 bits/min.
18. Future Scope
• Current new advances include a
second-generation interface
software M*Power controller
that will enable users to perform
a wide variety of daily activities
without assistances of technician.
• Smaller ,wireless device .
• The user will have an improved
control of respiratory system, limb with
muscle stimulation or robotics.
19. Conclusion
• The invention of Brain gate is such a revolution in
medical field. The remarkable breakthrough offers
hope that people who are paralyzed will one day
be able to independently operate artificial limbs,
computers or wheelchairs.
• The idea of moving robots or prosthetic devices
not by manual control, but by mere “thinking”
(i.e., the brain activity of human subjects) has
been a fascinated approach
